Success – Laying Brick by Brick Gwendolyn Suarez-Carriere, CEOE LAEOP Past President/Retired Teacher Andrea Bocelli said a career is like a house. It’s made of many bricks and each brick has the same value because without any one of them the house would collapse.

We will examine 1. The foundations we build, using our

education. 2. The bricks that surround us; that is our

support systems. 3. The mortar between the bricks, which

includes our talents, attitude, and our professionalism.

4. The corners and curves that are our failures and disappointments.

5. The goals and peaks that are our ambition, dreams and successes.
